What Would YOU Do with This?
A man who ordered a pair of size 14.5 slippers was left stunned when a size 1450 was delivered to his doorstep following a manufacturing blunder. Tom Boddingham, 27, who lives in Ilford, East London, ordered the £15.50 custom-made hairy animal claw slippers online for his size 13 right foot 14-and-a-half left foot. But after mixing up a decimal point, the manufacturing company based in Hong Kong mixed up the order and sent him one extra large 7ft slipper – also known as a size XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL. However, Mr Boddingham received the other slipper in the size he requested According to the slipper firm, factory workers assumed the gigantic order was for a shop window display. Mr Boddingham said: “It was sent from Hong Kong and measures 210 x 130 x 65cm - about the same length as a grizzly bear or family car. “I reckon I must be the owner of the biggest slipper in the world.” A spokesman for the British slipper Website Monster Slippers apologised for the mistake, saying: “They messed up and didn’t notice the decimal point, so here we are with a blinking great slipper that’s equivalent to a size 1,450. “We are making him a replacement slipper of the right dimensions.” Mr Boddingham now plans to sell the giant slippers on eBay.  · |

Re: What Would YOU Do with This?
lol thats quite a blunder.. wouldnt he have to put a "special order" for that size? shouldnt it have cost more? that's a lot of material to keep it going for the usual price.

Oh, sorry. Nonetheless, I wouldn't give that away, I'm sure it's really comfortable to sleep in. Or take it in the woods and sleep in it. |

IF they realize someone made the mistake, they will either fire the guy, throw him in a ditch with the baby girls or try to bill the recipient more money. It was from Hong Kong, not China! |
